It all started 17 years ago when Debbie Doerrlamm wanted her Nailtech chat room to "come alive." The event has really grown over the years, and NAILS is proud to own the event and carry on the fun traditions.
Browse the photo gallery of those who came to Orlando, Florida, to attend our Nailtech Networking Event and go to Premiere Orlando in June 2016.
